This document summarizes the processing and analysis of ground turmeric. It discusses that turmeric is used as a condiment, dye, drug and cosmetic. The major turmeric producing states in India are mentioned. A flow chart shows the process of cleaning, grading, grinding, sieving, conveying, weighing and packing of raw turmeric. Quality analysis tests are performed on parameters like moisture content, total ash, acid insoluble ash and non-volatile ether extraction according to Agmark standards. Observations from samples tested at a turmeric processing plant are presented. Benefits and uses of turmeric in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic industries and others are listed at the end.

- 2. Introduction Turmeric (Curcuma longa) (Family: Zingiberaceae) is used as condiment, dye, drug and cosmetic in addition to its use in religious ceremonies. India is a leading producer and exporter of turmeric in the World. Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Karnataka, West Bengal, Gujarat, Meghalaya, Maharashtra, Assam are some of the important states cultivates turmeric Andhra Pradesh alone occupies 35.0% of area and 47.0 per cent of production During 2006-2007, the country produced 8,37,200 tons of turmeric from an area of 1,86,000 ha.

- 10. Turmeric processing plant The mill used for grinding purposes at Kanwal group of spices was a hammer mill (pulveriser). These mills contain a high speed rotor, rotating inside a cylindrical casing. Materials are fed into the mill from the top of the casing and is broken by the rotating hammers and fall out through a screen at the bottom. The material or feed is broken by fixed or swinging hammers which are pinned to a rotor. The hammers are rotated between 1500 4000 rpm, strike and grind the material until it becomes small enough to pass through the bottom screen. Fineness of grinding is controlled by the screen size.
- 11. Packing of ground powder The packaging unit at the Kanwal group of spices comprised 3 main machines Figure 1: Pakona-500gm packing Figure 2: Auger Filler-1kg packing Figure 3: Pakona-100&200gm packing
- 12. QUALITY ANALYSIS TESTS The parameters for which the quality was examined in contrast to the Agmark specifications are: Moisture Content Total Ash Acid insoluble ash Non-volatile ether extraction Volatile oil
- 13. Agmark standards for Turmeric powder:
- 14. Observations The moisture content of a ground powder sample of turmeric randomly selected from the production unit of Kanwal group of spices came out to be 7%. The total ash content of ground powder sample of turmeric randomly selected from the production unit of Kanwal group of spices came out to be 4.94%. Moisture content: Total Ash: The acid insoluble ash of ground powder sample of turmeric randomly selected from the production unit of Kanwal group of spices came out to be 0.25%. Acid Insoluble Ash:
